How many veg items will I get?
Each week it will vary, but generally between 7 and 10 items. It may be more or less depending on their value. Tomatoes, for example, are 4 times the value of Potatoes. We balance the bag contents so you won't just end up with two very expensive vegetables and nothing to make a meal with.
Can I skip a week when I'm away?
Of course. We finalise orders on Monday night, ready to start harvesting on Tuesday and Wednesday. If you know you’ll be away, just log in to your dashboard and pop a Pause in place before Tuesday morning. After that cut-off your bag will already be planned and picked, so you’ll still be charged — but you can always ask a friend or family member to collect it and enjoy the veg while you’re away. Another option is to donate the value of your bag to support our work with the local charity SPLICE.
How should I store my vegetables?
Most vegetables belong in the fridge, ideally in the bottom drawer. To keep leaves like lettuce and chard, and things like cucumbers fresh, store them in a sealed container or bag. Cucumbers prefer a slightly warmer spot, so keep them near the front rather than at the back. Carrot and beetroot leaves are delicious and edible! But it’s best to remove them before storing to keep the carrots fresher. Use the leaves in pesto, salads, or as a garnish. Not everything loves the cold—tomatoes taste best at room temperature, while potatoes, onions, and squash prefer a cool, dark cupboard. A little extra care keeps your veg fresher for longer!
What vegetables will I get?
When you sign up, you’ll be added to our mailing list and receive a weekly email with the contents of your upcoming veg box, helping you plan meals with the best seasonal produce. While we do our best to deliver exactly what’s listed, there may be occasional substitutions.
Are all the vegetables local and organic?
Your veg box will always be organic. Around 95% of the produce comes from our farm in St Brides Major, with the occasional top-up from a Wales-based wholesaler for crops that aren’t practical to grow on a small scale—like potatoes and swede.
